I dont know about most ppl here, but I really hate that "beeping" noise whenever the unit receive a on screen click, especially that loud beep for the start button. Its really loud in the middle of the night
Is there a way to disable it, or change it to a much soothing sound
I install Wisbar Advance 2 before, and the pre-pack skin also change the beeping to a much better sound, but as I mention before here in this forum, I uninstalled it because it slow down my unit greatly.
start button > settings > sounds & notifications / screen taps etc.
v
But I m talking about the loud beep for the start menu or the new tab, or when you open program from the start menu...
there is no option to unable them... is there a way?
so anyone know how?
I kind of hate that this is my first post - A little pedestrian - I've been a longtime lurker and thanks to a lot of this forum, I made the jump yesterday to a rooted MyTouch 3G with Cyanogen's latest. I'm pleased.
Coming from a BlackBerry, I've been spoiled by the easy-switch between "profiles", specifically the ability to set the device to only ring for calls and not for SMS or other notifications.
I'm finding a one-touch solution difficult to come by - And I've already tried "Profiles", "Auto Ring", "Toggle Settings" and "Ring Toggle" - Each of them is either a multi-step process to get to "just ring for calls" or won't turn off SMS vibration, a common issue?
Anyway, great community here and I hope to be a small part. If anyone knows a simple, reliable way to set my phone to just ring (for nighttime important calls) and silent everything else (except alarms) - Please let me know!
Thanks!

Um have you tried going into settings, sound/display -> ringer volume? You can check a box and mute your notification sounds. Personally, I find this really easy already but if you must have that one-touch then.. I don't know

It isn't a deal-breaker or anything, but even with a shortcut to "Sound & display", it's a few extra swipes and pokes
I was hoping there was a shortcut directly to that screen or just a simple on-screen button that could turn everything but alarms and calls off.
Thanks

Yes sir! That's what we want - But how do we get that screen as a shortcut or widget on our home-screen?

i think that if it were developed it would need to also toggle the "vibrate on" selection within each notification setting for the various apps that utilize notifications. like gmail app, email app, exchange app, messaging apps, sms/mms etc. it is currently an android weakness compared to winblow and dingleberry but the other strengths of the os outweigh this and a few other features' immaturity. try the market...
well as of right now I can offer you one thing that requires 3 clicks lol
use a shortcut widget! But that is almost as long as doing it normally... lol
although there may be a way using better cut (trying to figure that out)
yeahhh I don't know what else you can do ;p
I give up looking for it. I tried using better cut / any cut and tried the "make your own shortcut"
Apparently there is an intent to adjust the volume but.. I don't know what to put in the "data" field. Searched around and not many people know how to use this feature either haha

...point about "vibrate on" is that you'd need a shortcut (as you say) for each app if, like me, you activate "vibrate on" as part of the notification profile for each of the app examples i listed above. in other words, simply silencing notifications volume from settings/ringer_volume/use_incoming_call_volume_for_notifications has no effect on the "vibrate on/off" selection profile for the individual apps.
It seems like the whole "SMS vibrations are different" deal is what really makes this a difficult implementation - Every application I've tried has difficulty specifically with silencing SMS vibrations that are turned on - Otherwise, it's totally possible - Very, very strange that this is still an issue...

This is my first Android phone so sorry for the noobish question.
Back on Windows Mobile HTC put in a 4th "sound settings" option called Automatic.
Normal, Vibrate, Silence, Automatic
When in Automatic mode the phone would switch to Vibrate any time you had a scheduled appointment on your calendar. So you didn't have to worry about your "Dancing Queen" ringtone going off when you schedule an important after work meeting because it fell outside the time-frame of some app with limited options.
Does this automatic option exist on the Incredible and I'm missing it.
Or is there an app that sets your phone to vibrate dynamically based on your appointment calendar and not just some simple setting within the app?
I didn't see it at first glance, but I remember this feature! Pretty handy if you forget to silence your phone in a meeting, and all my meetings are synced to my phone's calendar.
I used to use an app called Locale by two-forty am or something, I forgot the developer's name and my phone just died so I can't check. But it looks like it's no longer free although the app still looks very promising. Do a search in Market cause I'm sure there are more that will do the same and are free as well. Also check this video out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzlFlK-1dNY
At about 9:54 the guy in the video talks about a feature on the phone called polite ringer. It can be useful if you forget to mute the phone or if your app for some reason forgets to do it for you. The whole video is very informative as well even if you already know about most of the phone's features. I hope this helps! Good Luck!!
I miss my Omnia and the etiquette mode. Place the phone screen down on a table and it went to vibrate mode.
That is one feature of my ex-iPhone that I really liked...1 click of the switch ad it shut up!!!!
Plus 1. I miss Mobile Shell on my old WinMo. I'm using ToggleSettings now which is free and does a good job with settings changing based on time, but it does nothing based on meetings.
To Funny...
YEAH I miss my Omnia (& touch shell) The screen was so wig giddy whack, which was after a month of use & the dreaded lock screen. Never got a Omnia II because it did not have an optical mouse? I guess my incredible is okay to above average. I hate the aspect ratio of the wallpaper. WTF lolz I wish I could have a wallpaper per each screen or have it re-size to the screen, especially for caller id? Also i'm not terribly fond of the HTC scenes ui it's almost useless.

several apps are out there- FlipSilent, Turn Silent- and they seem to cover customized silencing too!
Auto task keys off the calendar descriptions. There is a ringer silence widget out there too. (Apps)
It seems none of those really tie into calendar. Shh! auto-silencer allows you to setup times where the phone goes silent but it's seems king of hit and miss. Locale looks the best with ton's of options for setting when things are silent, but it's not free.
I think I might try out locale for a couple days. After getting a phone call at 1:30am and not being able to get back to sleep I need something to better manage automatic silent times.
There's another app call "setting profiles" that does what you what. It does basically the same thing as locale minus the plugins. You can set profiles to calendar, time period, schedule period, location and more. It's also a lot cheaper. I think it's $3 compare to $10 for locale. I came from windows mobile as well. This is one thing I really wanted from android. It took me a while to find it. But I think settings profiles takes the cake for its features and price point.
Oh I forgot to add that it comes with a widget where you can place on your homescreen so that you can toggle profiles manually. On the widget, it also lets you set a timer for the profile. For example, when I go to a movie, I can toggle the silent profile for 2 hrs and it will go silent until the time expires. After that it will automatically revert to your default profile.
That's pretty cool. It does do just about everything Locale does except the plugins. The free lite version even does most of the stuff I need it to.
Is there anyway to have the sound and vibrate turned on at the same time for incoming phones calls only?

How then? I am new to Andriod.
What i want is sound off / vibrate on and vice versa. When i put my phone in vibrate mode, all notifications should be set to vibrate. Turn the volume back up and vibrate stops and sounds are back. Maybe I'm just not smart enough to figure it out.
Try settings profile in the market.
Another great app is just "profile" by noimjosh, it is a fully configureable profile manager. It also has whitelist functions and the ability to seperate sms mms and notification volumes to different levels. It will also control GPS WIFI, music volume alarm volume .. the list goes on and on. I highly recommen checking it out. well worth it. Hope this helps.

I find that this is good for everything. That's probably why it costs $4. I have this one turn on my wifi when I get within 1/4 mi of my house. I also have it change my wallpaper so when I'm home it displays a hot naked girl and while at work it will display something other than that.

Settings/sounds & display/ check "phone vibrate"
Thanks everyone!
Enjoy what is left of the 4th!
The new profile has some expanded functoinality. He just updated it i am however heading to the market now for settings profile. Always worth a shot. Thanks.

Hey Acid, settings profile looks really good. Lots of control, i am wondering if you agree on this though. I am on call sometimes from 330 am and want to keep everything silent except for a call from work. So i basically set up a "silent" profile, then created a rule so if i get a call from a specific work number the profile will change to another profile called "work".which has an audible ringtone of course. Thus i should be able to keep everything silent untill work calls then presto i can hear that call. Sound right to you?

THESE instructions look like they run pretty close to what you're describing. I'm pretty sure you can.
Yep, I should have checked that turorial first, thanks for the suggestion, I might have to make the switch over!
Have a good one
Hey by the way, if you have Juice Defender and Settings Profile running in tandem I've noticed they can conflict on the wifi side of things.
Ahh, noted thanks!
- Blocking mode for incoming calls
- Customize and more switch button notification panel
- Fixing LED specifications to use and related stamina mode

The notification panel probably can be fixed by using custom ROMs
The speaker part will not happen. It's just too small.
Shourtcuts on lockscreen, again probably a custom ROM. I have tried 3rd party apps for adding shortcuts in the lockscreen but they were horrible.
The next Xperia model that Sony should bring out should have improved camera and better screen (eg S-LCD3) instead of standard LCD. Oh and better speakers too.
i hope to be satisfy by 4.2.2

Don't expect too much with 4.2.2. I reckon it will only have little improvements.

Did you test one of the audio mods available in development section?
These makes speaker really, really loud!

No because I have to root it. Too lazy to do that. I had been a recovering flashing addict and don't want to go through that again.

What I'd like to see are things like the ability for Smart Connect to turn NFC off/on,
to make distinguishing between charging points easier since using NFC is the only way to do that.
and New UI!
Hold up...I swore I saw and used an option to block incoming calls from certain persons. In the phonebook when you click on a contact you can send their calls straight to voicemail, and in Settings/Call Settings you can go in Call barring. Well if thats what you mean by "Blocking mode for incoming calls"

I'd think twice about that. Rooting will fix allmost all your problems.
- Customize and more switch button notification panel
With root you can get a lot more, i currently have 8
- Fixing LED specifications to use and related stamina mode
Theres a fix on the forums for this. It allows the LED to work even in Stamina mode
- More shortcuts on lock screen
Also possible with root
- louder speaker
Use one of the modded audio's. I use it myself, and turn on the Loud setting when listening (internet) radio under the shower

I don't have to think twice about it. I know all about rooting. And I'd rather not do it. Just sick to death of flashing this and flashing that. I just wanna use the phone and be done with it.
ya, agree with those points.
1-less compression of image(we dont mind the big size of the pic, else why we bought sd cards 囧) and faster camera launch, even HTC release 2nd update for improving the camera .
2-music, ya, even XDA developers can come out with mod that improve the sound louder and clearer, its appear to be poor software/firmware implement by the software engineer in Sony.
The walkman apps doesn't have refresh button to refresh the media when we transfer new music into the phone. And my walkman apps play song, it appear to bit slightly lag (0.5sec of music pause) for many times in a song, and goes on, I have to use 3rd party music apps to play song smoothly.
3-screen, at least give us the WB software to adjust the color like the one in Xperia ZL and SP.
4- battery life - which sony can implement extra feature like "power saving mode" which limit the processing core to lower frequency (1 or 1.2ghz) which surely improve battery life. Like what Samsung did on Note 2( as I bought one for my sister and I found out it's really a big plus for extending battery life by lowering the processing power).
Althought rooting phone can limit the processing core power and solve all those issue we address, but apparently not all of us want to risk(or good at), root(rooting) our phone to do that.
Sony, please make improvement. >< we do love you ~
just dont make us dissapoint and regret.
Any link to make louder speaker? Offcourse rooted
integrated flac support and better bass audio quality for headphones music sounds horrible in my xz hehe also a way to completely backup apps installed on the phone or create a list that can be imported and downloaded every time you do a factory reset and a way to backup app data in the same program, a way to root phones on 4.3 with a locked bootloader would be nice too i've tried all methods none have worked so far...
Individual notification tones in texting app.
Individual LED notification color per contact in texting app.
The possibility to not only assign a custom ring tone per contact but also set a specific contact ring tone to be completely off.
Increase MMS max size.
Flip tiles toggles, CM style.
AOSP lock screen with shortcuts and flashlight.
